‘Sticking needles in my eyeballs’: Some Democrats couldn’t sit through Trump’s speech
Politico ^ | 3/5/25 | Nicholas Wu and Ben Jacobs

Posted on 03/05/2025 8:08:03 AM PST by DallasBiff

House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries wanted a “solemn” response to President Donald Trump’s congressional address Tuesday. His members had other ideas.

Moments after Trump began speaking, Texas Rep. Al Green rose and interrupted the president until he was ejected from the chamber. Other members held signs blasting Trump and his policies. Repeatedly they met Trump’s partisan provocations with chants and jeers. Many simply walked out of the chamber, leaving the Democratic section increasingly empty as the speech went on.

I guess hearing common sense economics and foreign policy is needles in the eyes to radical democrats.

Trump should start selling MAGA gear saying just “The 80%”

Like Harry Truman said when someone hollered for him to “give ‘em hell” : “I just tell the truth, and they think it’s hell.”

What few sane people there are at the DNC knows last night it was a political disaster for them.

The Democrats know they have to go back to the center to remain politically viable, but that’s going to be hard when a significant percentage of their party are far left kooks.

The rats have not moderated one bit. They believe all they have to do is cheat just a little bit more and they are back in power.

The party of death only applauds killing babies or endless wars.

Tro could have parted the Red Sea, given a million dollars to every citizen, made every day “Pride Day” and pardoned every Democrat of every sin and the Democrats would react the sane way. They will never be satisfied, they will never be cooperative. They only want power for themselves and if they get it back, will use it to destroy us. It’s what makes them happy and makes them tick.

The Democrats hurt themselves even further last night with their childishness and lack of common decency. They refused to stand and honor Laken Riley’s family, they refused to stand for Jocelyn Nungaray, and they refused to even applaud for the young man facing brain cancer who Trump named an honorary member of the Secret Service. The Democrats showed who and what they are.

A sizable portion of Americans go unrepresented in the US Senate and House House of representatives so long as an honest election cannot be conducted in various precincts scattered around the country. Almost all of the conformist far lefts continue to get re-elected, not because of their polished rhetoric, or their innate benevolence, but because they have a machine backing than that chokes off virtually all challenges to their satrapy. That is not the definition of “democratic” representation. It is “strongman” rule with a command-and-control system in place.
